Behavioral Studies (ArianeB Walkthrough Part 1)

ArianeB or Virtually Date Ariane is an adult dating simulator with a lot
of different scenarios and outcomes. The story is fairly simple, make a
date with Ariane and try to get her in the sack! Of course this sounds
easier than it is and that is exactly what makes this game worthwhile.
The best way is to experiment with the different situations the game
offers and to learn from past mistakes. But for those with a restless
mind I will put some walkthroughs for the game on this space. It takes
out most of the fun though.

The dating simulator can be found on the following website: ArianeB.
I strongly suggest downloading the offline version as the online game
(that has some minor changes) is often down or produces connection
errors.

This first instalment isn't really a walkthrough but shows you the
different parameters ArianeB looks for before taking a decision.

Getting started.

As the game is completely browser based no installation has to be done.
Unzip the files on the harddisk and double-click the index.htm
file in the DatingSimulator folder. An alternative way to start the game
(bypassing the intro page) is to double-click the default.htm
file in the DatingSimulator/dateariane folder. The game uses
standardized JavaScript and HTML. It works on IE 6.0 (and 7.0), Safari
and Opera (IE users: you need to click the yellow bar to unblock the
script). Firefox and Mozilla based browsers are not compatible.

To start the game you need to put ArianeB in a good mood. I usually do
this as follows although there are other, perhaps better, ways to
accomplish this. The strength of the game lies in the fact that a change
of action and even a change in the order of events, will lead to
different behaviour.

Introduction

Introduce Yourself.Compliment her outfit.Say something smart.Kiss
her cheek.Turn on some music.Jazz.Kiss her while dancing.Stop
kissing.Change music or dance again.Soft Rock.Kiss her while
dancing.Stop kissing.Dip and kiss her neck.Stop necking.

ArianeB is now in a positive,read romantic, mood and will allow you to
take further action.

ArianeB parameters (pinched from the html files)

The JavaScript uses several variables to predict the mood, actions and
scenes of ArianeB. I've put the most important here:

Bathroom: you can use the bathroom after dinner. Don't do it too
often, don't too it too early in the game.Shower: you can
shower after a swim. Sometimes ArianeB invites you into the bathroom.Clothes:
Ariane will change clothes now and then. Sometimes she will allow you to
have a look.Dancing: too much dancing will wear Ariane out.
If she is only dressed in a towel it might fall off.Downtown:
you can visit several places downtown, a restaurant, a lingerie shop, a
nightclub, a museum, the home décor store or the dress shop.Drinks:
Ariane likes a drink, but not too much. She will pass out after 3-4
glasses if she hasn't had lunch, otherwise she can handle 6 to 7
glasses. Be very careful with liquor.Food: Ariane is a
carnivore. You can have steak at a candlelight dinner, by the pool or in
a restaurant.Foreplay: you'll need it. Too much isn't good
either.Gas: driving to the mountains without filling up the
tank isn't very intelligent.Spin bottle: the spin bottle game
can lead to a unique scenario.Swimming: too much swimming
wears ArianeB out.

You can now experiment with the game or follow the walkthroughs to get
all playable scenarios. These have all been tested on version 4.8.
